A bright blue sky with scattered white clouds fills the upper half of the composition, dominating the scene and setting a vivid backdrop. The foreground is alive with rough, rocky terrain, patches of green grass, and tufts of hardy plants, painted with quick, textured brushstrokes that suggest movement and light. To the left, a single figure sits on the ground, partially shaded by the hillside and surrounded by a few birds; the figure bends forward, intent on an unseen task, with a basket resting nearby.

The figure’s clothing is rendered in earthy tones, blending into the landscape, while the birds—one close to the figure, another pecking at the ground—are marked by lively touches of white, brown, and black. A large patch of prickly pear cactus with paddle-shaped leaves occupies the right foreground, its green hues contrasting with the warm ochres and cool sky blues elsewhere in the painting. Loose, visible brushwork throughout the scene gives the surface a sense of immediacy and texture, especially in the depiction of rocks, foliage, and clouds.

Small details, such as a bare branch reaching up at the left edge and the subtle shadows cast across the rocky path, add to the sense of natural light and outdoor atmosphere. A small, low stone structure with a tiled roof stands at the far left edge of the painting, partly obscured by foliage and shadow. The path in the foreground curves diagonally from the bottom center toward the left, bordered by scattered stones and patches of bare earth.

Sunlight falls most strongly on the tops of the cactus paddles and the upper slopes, leaving the lower right corner in deeper shadow. Thin, angular brushstrokes define the outlines of the buildings and prickly pear, contrasting with the softer, stippled treatment of the sky and clouds. A landscape with figure in Sagunto, Valencia is attributed to Joaquín Sorolla, as noted in the title line.
